Rolling is almost impossible in 1st person (unless you ENJOY disorentation just one button push away).


last time I checked, Real Life is first person.

I can roll just fine without being disoriented.

They are in fact called the Rookie in the game. I don't think they have that much military skill yet.


Please remember while the Rookie is new to being an ODST, he is a ODST the "best of the best".

It would take away the "feel" of Halo.

I say yes. For once, let's have a little innovation instead of keeping everything EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS TITLES. Why do most people commenting seem to think it's a -blam!- ing sin against all that is holy for a Halo game to actually have some innovation beyond just changing health and weapons? For god's sake as well, the competitive multiplayer in this game is nothing but an exact replica of Halo 3's, so adding some tactical maneuvers in the campaign and co-op aren't going to screw up ANYTHING in competitive multiplayer.

Honestly, it's going to help make the game better. Would you rather stand there and hope that you can run away from an enemy grenade, or be able to dodge jump out of the way, get up, and shoot that foe in the face? First person games are more than capable of the camera movements that would be associated with this. Turok on the 360 did this, from what I hear and read Mirror's Edge did it, newer Call of Duty titles have done it, even Half-Life 2 on the original 2004 incarnation of the Source engine could do it to an extent(when something like an antlion guard would hit you and send you flying).

There are likely going to be 1000 random things in the game people will decide to endlessly and mindlessly -blam!- about anyways, why make such a fuss about having a little innovation?

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

This is Halo, not Gears.

Yes, because Gears of War is the ONLY game in existence that's allowed to have tactical cover and dodging moves. My point proven again, god forbid Halo have some innovation.

I'm fine with Halo changing a bit with some new features, but rolling? This would change the gameplay so much it's not even funny. I'm not trying to bash your thread, I just think some things are better left untouched. The inability to roll is something that makes Halo, "Halo". Sure it would make it easier to dodge grenades and get out of a firefight quickly, but people would be rolling all over the place with the shotgun just like in Gears. Know what I mean?

But would it matter that much if it did somehow end up like that? It wouldn't be in the competitive multiplayer, so it wouldn't mess with the "important" part of gameplay, plus the fact is those sort of things would be necessary for survival when you don't have the (inconsistent) strength of a spartan or shielding to save you.

BXR= NOOBs 4shot=skills

no i dont think so but being able to sprint. people think it might change the way halo is played but i mean sometimes the game just feels slow because of the big open area some places are. especially when the campaign new mombasa's large and vastness
